    I’ve just followed instructions on setting up WordPress in XAMPP to support multisite. However, I’m at a loss as to how to actually going about creating additional sites without installing additional instances of WP (which I think defeats the purpose?). My initial thought was that the “New” menu item should include “Site” within its list of options. However, I didn’t find it there. I’m now at a loss.
    Help?

    What’s your URL of your website? So I can take a closer look of your site.
    If you have WordPress installed for the first time… and it’s a single site, and you wanted a multisite; you may need to edit the wp-config.php file. If you were planning on using subdomains, you must have a * set as a wildcard subdomain by going to your hosting control panel: http://news.fairiesdreamsfantasy.com/wordpress-multisites-via-subdomains-need-a-wildcard-subdomain-in-order-for-these-subdomain-based-sites-to-work/. However; as you launch your multisite, and create subsites; you need content that is interesting and unique: http://news.fairiesdreamsfantasy.com/wordpress-multisites-needs-to-be-unique-and-informative/,, if you’re not sure what to write on your WordPress multisite… see this article: http://news.fairiesdreamsfantasy.com/what-should-i-write-about-on-my-wordpress-multisite/.
    Please tell me the steps to reproduce a problem,–so I can further take a closer look of your site issues. If a working URL isn’t provided… I’m aren’t able to view your site.

    Hi Rider –
    I’m actually doing this locally, so no actual URL, just localhost. Here’s a snipet from my config file, if that helps…
    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);

    define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’,true);

    define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
    define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
    define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘localhost’);
    define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’);
    define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
    define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);

    If you want subdomains for your multisite; replace false with true for subdomain install. If you’re not sure; refer to the WordPress codex: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Create_A_Network/.
